Ranch Dressing
Whether you follow a Vegan Diet or not, you are going to love this version of Ranch Dressing with two clear benefits. It’s much lower in calories than the traditional Mayo/Buttermilk version AND it’s much higher in protein. The base of this dressing is a Cashew Cream made in your blender from Raw Cashews and Water. Simply by changing the amount of water, you can adjust the thickness of this dressing.
This recipe includes a Ranch Dressing packed with tons of fresh herbs and 3 different dinners that come together in a flash. WOW!
